German engineering firm Sonplas has unveiled explosion-proof thermal chambers designed for testing fuel and energy system components in hazardous environments. With a temperature range of -60°C to 180°C, these chambers ensure safety and precision while validating equipment like injectors and pumps, addressing the growing demand for alternative fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia.
Lloyd’s Register has revamped its Condition Assessment Program (CAP) Thickness Measurement Analysis to enhance consistency in evaluating tankers built to Common Structural Rules (CSR). By shifting to fixed thickness values, LR aims to reduce variability in CAP outcomes, benefiting shipowners and operators with clearer expectations and improved asset integrity management.
OEG Energy Group (OEG) has launched GEOBASE, a revolutionary solution for maintaining dimensional control on offshore vessels. This tool streamlines calibration processes, standardizes measurements, and verifies sensor accuracy, reducing errors and delays during surveys. Developed by OEG’s team, GEOBASE is the industry standard for vessel geometry assurance, offering precise positioning data for critical offshore operations.
